Several Platform Specific TOs and TMs feature instructions and guidelines for Safe-T-Cable™. Consult the publications organization that supports your particular platform, or contact DMC for further information.
FAA:
Many FAA Approved 70-XX-XX Standard Documents are published and maintained by major engine, airframe, and component/subsystem manufacturers.
The FAA Approved Manual (supplied by the OEM) on the specific aircraft (or subsystem) will advise the operator/maintainer if Safe-T-Cable™ is approved by the OEM on that aircraft/application. If it can not be determined from this, or other documentation, the operator/maintainer should contact the OEM assigned representative, and request information concerning the use of Safe-T-Cable™ on that aircraft or subsystem.
NASA:
The National Aeronautical and Space Administration, in cooperation with major contractors have developed several reports and standards involving the testing, selection, use, procurement, and application of Safe-T-Cable™. Two significant NASA funded documents are CR4473 – CONTRACTOR REPORT (Intersel 1992), and JA83-032A Teledyne Brown.
NASA Tech Briefs magazine has also recognized Safe-T-Cable™ as a modern Space Program Technology on one or more occasions. Safe-T-Cable™ is used on the Space Shuttle main orbiter engines, structure, and payload applications.
NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER LISTING (NSN):
The majority of Safe-T-Cable™Tools and Components that are specified in Military Technical Manuals and Standards are covered by NSNs. Consult DMC for Details.
SOCIETY OF BRITISH AEROSPACE COMPANIES (SBAC):
JES 138 (Engineering Design Standard) JDS843.02 (Wire Locking Design Standard), AS63236, AS63237, AS63238-9 (Detail Standard).
PRIVATE STANDARDS:
Many prominent companies in the Aerospace Industry have developed In-House Standards and Drawings for Safe-T-Cable™. Your DMC Customer Service Representative will have information about many of these documents, however, due to strict adherence to copyright regulations, copies of a private standard, in whole or in part, are not available from DMC.

DMC STATEMENT ON SAFETY CABLE (Safe-T-Cable™)Daniels Manufacturing Corporation, “DMC” manufactures and sells safety cable under license by General Electric Aircraft Engines in conformity with Society of Automotive Engineers Standard (SAE) Standard AS4536, AS3509, AS3510 and customer specifications. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classified safety cable to be a standard part by issuance of a letter on November 23, 1993. This letter, in its entirety, along with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) of that date referred to therein appears on the DMC Web Site, and in DMC catalogs on safety cable. The third Paragraph of that letter states: Installation of AS3509, AS3510 and AS3511 safety cable on aircraft is governed by FAR § 43.13, Performance Rules (general). FAR § 43.13 (a) states in part: “Each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventative maintenance on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance shall use the methods, techniques and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer’s maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator….” It is the responsibility of the installer of safety cable to determine where safety cable can or cannot be installed in accordance with FAA regulations, OEM Practice Standards, or Department of Defense (DOD) directives. Where authorization is required, the installer should contact the Equipment OEM for the necessary authorization.DMC IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION OF SAFETY CABLE IN VIOLATION OF FAA, OEM, AND/OR DOD DIRECTIVES AND REGULATIONS.Safety Cable is a time saving technology. Please feel free to contact DMC for recommendations concerning the appropriate type of safety cable to be used for installation on authorized applications. |
